Midea's OPPO will work together to lay out smart homes, and will stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with Huawei and Xiaomi in the future.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the yearning for a better life is also increasing. In the past, the traditional furniture product model has been difficult to meet the needs of modern consumers, and smart home products came into being. Our life is always developing in a more and more convenient direction. Manually operated furniture equipment is gradually replaced by intelligent systems such as voice recognition, face AI recognition and fingerprint recognition, which makes us no longer need to spend a lot of physical strength and energy to use and operate these traditional non-intelligent home equipment. Nowadays, smart home devices can run automatically by setting a program or voice control. This has greatly liberated human hands and feet, so that they can have more time to do what they like.

The domestic smart home industry has been firmly occupied by Huawei and Xiaomi, and the two companies are also the leaders of domestic smart home products. Not long ago, on the morning of September 25th, Midea and OPPO announced in Shenzhen * * * that they would upgrade their strategic partnership. Both parties will strive to create the ultimate use experience and interactive scene experience of smart products for users and maximize the value of bilateral users. This also marks that the domestic smart home industry has ushered in the third giant, forming a melee situation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Judging from the strength of Midea and OPPO, in a short period of time, the leading position of Huawei and Xiaomi in the industry cannot be shaken at all. From the perspective of chips, hardware and operating systems, Midea and OPPO are still in a backward position, and it is impossible to catch up with Huawei and Xiaomi in a short time. Midea and OPPO can form a good complement in the layout of smart homes. One is the leader in the home appliance industry, and the other is a strong competitor in the mobile phone industry. Such cooperation between the two parties can form good complementary advantages, open up intelligent channels from mobile devices to traditional household appliances, and then quickly launch competitive smart home solutions.

However, the competitiveness of OPPO in the mobile phone field is still far behind Huawei and Xiaomi, and the establishment of the operating system ecosystem and the research and development of chips are not enough to directly compete with Huawei and Xiaomi. Therefore, the cooperation between Midea and OPPO is only an important first step. There is still a long way to go in the future and many problems need to be solved.

But in any case, the smart home market can have the participation of Midea and OPPO, which will gradually form healthy competition and let our consumers have a variety of smart home solutions to choose from, which is undoubtedly a good thing for our consumers. It is believed that in the future, domestic smart homes will have three pillars, forming a melee situation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which can well promote the development of domestic smart home products and services and lay a solid foundation for domestic smart homes to go global.
